Guide to Landscapes in Utrecht by OKRA

A long-term commitment

The original quality guide was drafted by us in 2010. Over the past decade, pressure on the landscape has steadily increased. Urban and suburban expansion, climate adaptation, and energy transition require more space. Therefore, in the past year, we conducted a reassessment. The central question was whether these developments can still be integrated in a way that respects and enhances the core qualities or whether the pressure on the landscape has become so great that these ambitions have become incompatible.

The quality guidelines define the qualities of the different landscapes in the Province of Utrecht and provide information and inspiration on how spatial developments can be incorporated in a way that enhances these qualities.
